Abstract

Knowledge mining is a process to represent, analyze and extract information from knowledge base. There are many high-level representation technologies for knowledge mining. An advanced, powerful, and easy to implement technology named Context Maps is introduced as a common modeling language. This report presents the procedures of converting OPEN Process methodology to a 3P-able format by applying Context Maps technology. The functionalities and attributes of Context Maps are demonstrated by modeling OPEN Process Framework in terms of the concepts and relationships from "www.donald-firesmith.com" website. The implementation of this technology is illustrated by using MS Excel spreadsheet. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that Context Maps is not only a formalized notation for representing knowledge, but also a powerful tool that can be used to manipulate the structured information.
